FIRE LIGHTING
To reduce the emission of pollutants as far as possible, we
ask you to observe the following instructions for the sake
of the environment.
1.
If the stove and chimney are still cold or if there is atmos-
pheric low pressure, we recommend burning some paper
initially to remove the cold from the stove and chimney.
2.
To light the fire, place uncoated paper at the bottom of the
combustion chamber, then 0.5 kg softwood chippings and
1 kg wood (3 small logs). Actuate the control knob on the
rear panel all the way down to the "heat-up setting" - the
primary and secondary air regulator are completely open in
this position. (see: " control knob, rear panel")
Please do not use glossy paper or paper from maga-
zines. It does not burn well and the printing inks create
highly toxic substances in the flue gas.
3.
Only use paper for fire lighting. Wait until the softwood
chippings are burning well.
Then wait a few minutes and adjust the regulator on the
rear panel to the middle setting. The primary air is now
closed and the secondary air completely open. A couple of
minutes later (depending on the flue draught and quality of
the fuel used) the regulator can be set to the ideal setting
(see " control knob, rear panel").
4.
Add approx. 2 kg of wood (2 blocks) after the first combus-
tion phase. Open the vibrating grate and adjust the control
knob on the rear panel to the "heat-up setting" again until
the wood has burned sufficiently. Further regulation is
effected as described under point 3.
Proceed in the same way every time you place more wood
on the fire.
NOTE:
If a lot of smoke develops when wood is placed on a
low, a explosive gas/air mixture may arise and cause a
deflagration. It is recommended for safety reasons to
start fire lighting again.
5.
The mineral content of the wood (approx. 1 %) remains at
the bottom of the combustion chamber as the residue. This
is an excellent fertiliser for all plants in the garden; it is a
completely natural product.
The ash should be stored first and extinguished with water.
